Delhi HC tells social media to act fast on Gavaskar's complaint
The Delhi High Court just told social media platforms to treat Sunil Gavaskar's legal plea as an official complaint and take action within a week.
Gavaskar, cricket legend, wants his name and image protected from being used online without his okay—especially for ads or sales.
The court also asked him to quickly share links he wants removed, so platforms can respond faster.
Why is this a big deal?
Gavaskar is the first Indian cricketer to push for these "personality rights" in court—a move that's becoming more common with celebs as deepfakes and digital misuse rise.
Bollywood stars like Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai have already fought similar battles.
This case matters because it pushes social media companies in India to react faster when someone's image or identity gets misused online.
It's a sign that protecting your digital self is getting serious, not just for movie stars but sports icons too.
